Sanskrit word is originally pronounced as Samskruta (संस्कृत / ಸಂಸ್ಕೃತ / samskr̥ta). But due to language and pronunciation difference, people have started to pronounce it as Sanskrit. Sanskrit is the most ancient, historical, classical, authentic, language of not only India, but of the world too.

In Sanskrit language itself the known Sanskrit Text (Hindu first text) of the world called Rigveda (ऋग्वेद) (r̥gvēda) was composed. 

No one knows about the exact time frame of the composition of the Hindu Vedas and Texts. But the modern study says the Vedas were rewritten around 6500 B.C. to 1500 B.C. 

But, we should always remember that, this doesn’t mean that Vedas and other Hindu Texts were not present earlier to this time frame. No, it is not like that.

Since the Hindu Vedas and other Texts were lost and thus our ancestors (Rishis) (Sages) rewrote the Hindu Vedas and Texts for the upliftment of the common man. The older Hindu Texts are called as “Vedic Sanskrit(Vaidika Sanskrit) (वैदिक संस्कृत) (vaidika samskr̥ta).

But, now at presently we have lost almost 99.99% of the genuine Hindu Texts and the remaining gives us very brief idea about the greatness of the Indian culture (Bharatiya Sanskriti).

Each and every Hindu Veda has its own book of grammar known as Pratishakhya (प्रतिशाख्य) (pratiśākhya). All these Pratishakhyas gives idea about the different forms of the words and other grammatical points.

Thus later, few Grammar Schools (व्याकरण गुरुकुल) (vyākaraṇa gurukula) came into existence.

[But we should note that, Gurukulas (Gurukuls) are existence in India since the aadi kalam (unknown time frame).]

During this time frame a extensive Hindu Texts like Vedas, Upanishads, Brahmanas, Aranyakas, Puranas, Upapuranas, Vedangas, etc. were rewritten and this was termed as Vedic Literature which was written in Vedic Sanskrit.

(Again I am repeating, Hindu Texts are present since the unknown time frame. But due to foreigners attacks and atrocities, out Texts have been lost and thus time on time our Texts have been rewritten again and again, and this will happen in the future also.)

The modern Sanskrit Pandit called as Panini (500 B.C.) has given us the great knowledge about the Sanskrit language.

Panini has scripted a master book of grammar (व्याकरण) (vyākaraṇa) named Ashtadhyayi (अष्टाध्यायी) (aṣṭādhyāyī) which is useful even in today’s time as a beacon. As per the Hindu Sanatana Dharma (Hinduism), the great and divine Sanskrit Language has no aadi (beginning) and no antya (ending).

Sanskrit was the greatest and eternal language on this earth, it is even today and will be in the future also until the grand infinite period time frame. Both Pali and Prakrit were first developed from Sanskrit language itself.

Pali was taken as the path of exposition of Buddhist ideas and on the other hand, Prakrit was used for the spread of Jain doctrines. Most of the Buddhist compositions were written in Pali and that of Jain was written in Prakrit.

Hindi, the largest language of India is directly taken from the Sanskrit language itself. Hindi is like a daughter language of the mother Sanskrit language.

It is said that all the older and modern Indian languages from north of India to south of India is directly originated from Sanskrit language itself. Sanskrit is the oldest language on earth. Sanskrit is as old as this universe and earth itself.

Sanskrit is existing on this earth since the ‘aadi kalam‘, that is, from grand unknown time. Similarly, Sanskrit will stay on this earth until the ‘ananta kalam‘, that is, grand infinite period.

All the great and divine Hindu (Sanatana Dharma) scriptures like Vedas, Mahabharata, Ramayana, Puranas, etc. all are written in this language itself.

List of Sanskrit language facts are as given below:

Sanskrit is pronounced as Samskruta (संस्कृत / ಸಂಸ್ಕೃತ / samskr̥ta), Sanskrit is the oldest language on earth, Sanskrit is existing since the adi kalam (before grand first), Sanskrit will exist until the ananta kalam (until grand infinite), Hindu scriptures are written in Sanskrit itself, Even God and Demigods speak Sanskrit,

Sanskrit is called as Devanagari language, Sanskrit is spoken in other planets too, Word Sanskrit is the combination of two words, Sanskrit words can be separated very easily, Sanskrit shlokas can be sung with highest ease, 

Sanskrit is the most perfect language on earth, Sanskrit is the mother of the languages of the world including Latin, Arabic, etc., All the Indian languages are originated from Sanskrit itself, many real European and other scholars began to study Sanskrit, 

The sound of each of the 36 consonants and the 16 vowels of Sanskrit are fixed and precise since the very beginning. There has been no change or alteration or edit of this great and divine Sanskrit language since ‘adi kalam’ (before grand first)

Even Lord Sri Vishnu, Goddess Sri Lakshmi Devi and all the Devatas (Demigods) who stay in different planets like Vaikuntha, Satya Loka, Svarga Loka, etc. all speak this divine Sanskrit language itself.

For this reason, Sanskrit is known as ‘Devanagari‘ language. Here Devanagari = Deva + Nagari = Gods + Place, that is, even in the Bhagavan (Vishnu) and Devatas (Demigods) planets same Sanskrit language is spoken.

Sanskrit, is the ultimate, supreme and most ancient language on this earth and the unlimited Universes (Multiverses).

Sanskrit language meaning : Sanskrit (Samskruta) is the combination of two words, that is, Sams (Sans) + kruta (krita) = Together + Written. 

That is, Sanskrit (Samskruta) words are so wonderfully designed that, all the words in Sanskrit is a combination of one or more words in itself.

For e.g., Mahabharata = Maha + Bharata (Two words combination), Ramayana = Rama + Ayana (Two words combination).

(Mahabharata means, Great Bharata or Great India. While Ramayana means, it is the text in which the great story of Lord Rama is been explained.)

Similarly, Venkatesha = Ven + Kata + Isha = Ego (sins) + Cutter + God, that is, Lord Venkatesha (Venkateswara) (Vishnu) is such Supreme personality (God) that he easily cuts down our ego (sins). 

Also, the Lord Shiva name called as Mrityunjaya = Mrityu + an + jaya = Death + He + won, that is – Lord Shiva has won over Mrityu (Lord Yama) during the Markandeya episode. Lord Shiva wins over Lord Yama and thus Lord Shiva is known as Lord Mrityunjaya.

When we read the shlokas (slokas) (hymns) (quotes) (stotrams) of any Hindu scriptures (texts), the whole shloka (stotrams) can be sang like a song.

Sanskrit, as said above is the most perfect language among all the languages in the Multiverses (Unlimited Universes). There is definitely no match for this language in the Multiverses (Unlimited Universes).

As said above, even the Devatas (Demigods) in the other planets communicate with this divine language Sanskrit. E.g., Svarga Loka, Brahma Loka, Vaikuntha Loka, etc. Sanskrit is the greatest and unmeasurable treasure given to the world by ancient India.

Off course, the great and divine language Sanskrit is universally recognized as the language containing the earliest literature of the world. Sanskrit is the mother of the languages of the world including all the European languages, Chinese, Japanese, Latin, Arabic, etc. etc. etc.

Sanskrit has been established as the ancient branches of all the languages around the world and this has been accepted from all over the globe by many Historians. Even the modern languages of India are directly and indirectly derived from this divine language Sanskrit.

For expanding the vocabulary and to cope with the development of modern civilization, all languages of in and outside India depend heavily on Sanskrit language as the loan provider language, that is, all languages are debtors of Sanskrit language.

This may an unacceptable message to few, but this is the realistic message even though one accepts it or not. 

The discovery of Sanskrit language as the original language of the world, made it an essential tool to understand the origin and early stages of the European and other languages of the world.

Many real European and other scholars began to study Sanskrit as their own language and this is still continuing even today and will continue forever.

It is being said that there is huge awareness and a growing interest in the West for Sanskrit studies, especially in Europe, USA, etc.

In Germany itself there are nearly 14 Universities teaching the divine language of Sanskrit. In USA there are over 3 Universities who are teaching Sanskrit and also providing the degree courses.

This is happening because the Sanskrit language is recognized as the earliest language of the world and is indeed the mother of all the languages of the globe. Sanskrit literature is the unlimited sky (not just an ocean) and this contains unlimited words and sentences of divinity and wisdom.

Sanskrit is the main source for Vedas, Mahabharata, Ramayana, Upanishads, Shastras, Kavyas etc. And Sanskrit is called as the Deva Bhasha (language spoken by God and Demigods) as this same language is spoken by the Devatas (Demigods) and the Supreme Lord Sri Vishnu too.

The sound of each of the 36 consonants and the 16 vowels of Sanskrit are fixed and precise since the very beginning. There has been no change or alteration or edit of this great and divine Sanskrit language since ‘aadi kalam‘ (grand unknown age).

And surely, Sanskrit will remain same until the ‘ananta kalam‘, that is, grand infinite period. All the alphabets and words of the Sanskrit language always have the same pronunciation before lakhs of years.

Similarly, is having the same pronunciation even today and will have the same pronunciation until the grand infinite period.

In Sanskrit, there has been no ‘sound shift,’ no change in the vowel system, and no addition or deletion was ever made in the grammar of the Sanskrit in relation to the formation of the alphabets and / or words.

The reason for this is its absolute perfection and flawlessness by its own nature and formation of this great, unique and divine language of Sanskrit. In Sanskrit, the morphology, microstructure etc. of word formation in Sanskrit language is highly unique.

And of its own kind where a word is formed from a tiny seed root (called dhatu) in a precise grammatical order which has been the same since the ‘aadi kalam‘ (grand first time).

Sanskrit is such an unique language that, any number of desired words can be created through its root words and the prefix and suffix system as detailed in the Ashtadhyayi of Panini.
